Watched this on the plane, could not get my eyes off it. Masterful theatrical performance , 2 people inside a townhouse somewhere in U.S. Big city. Plot reviewed by others. Camera action captures a plethora of emotions and takes you where the actors want you to go. You will love this if you like watching uncoiling emotions from interactions of both characters, if you don't mind the sexual setting (no nudity) but nevertheless it very sexually charged, and if you like small cast theatrical performances. The ending is indeed unexpected, but in a way may the best way to end this escalating very emotionally charged movie. Both actors make it very believable at every moment. Their dialog may leave you irritated at times, but it is very realistic.
... View MoreReview: What a strange but we'll made movie which is based around a conversation between 2 people, about there relationship. The only reason why I gave this movie a chance was because of Stanley Tucci, who usually makes good movies, and after seeing this film, I'm glad that I put it on my rental list. Right from the beginning I didn't have a clue were the movie was going or were it was going to end up. The twist near the end was brilliant and the chemistry between the two characters was believable and emotional in parts. It made me laugh how Stanley Tucci just wouldn't leave the girls house and how he kept picking at everything that was said. I'm sure that there are many couples that can relate to this situation which is why it makes it so realistic and I've got to take my hat off to the actors who done extremely well with such a small project. Anyway, i enjoyed this small budget movie which kept me extremely entertained throughout. Enjoyable!Round-Up: It's such a shame that small budget movies like this, get overlooked! Anyway, you might recognise Alice Eve from Star Trek Into Darkness and Men In Black 3 but she isn't a household name. She put in a great performance in her role and she held her own next to Stanley Tucci who has starred in many top movies. Tucci was great in a Devil Wears Prada and he's starred in many big budget movies like Transformers and the Hunger Games franchise. Together, they were brilliant in this film but because of its small distribution and terrible worldwide gross, it didn't get the recognition that it deserved.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $6,000 (Terrible!)I recommend this movie to people who are into there deep dramas about a man who turns up unannounced, on his ex-lovers doorstep expecting to rekindle there relationship. 6/10

In fact, if he made popcorn for the movie it would suck. I felt really sad watching Stanley Tucci and Alice Eve pass this move through their acting gut, much like I would pass a Taco Bell burrito gut ball through mine.Really I was so irritated and then the hapless twist at the end; I think we were supposed to yell bravo, instead of looking to get even with a shotgun, a box of lead shot and my favorite hunting dog. The only person I hate more then Neil Labute is Justin Bieber and then its a long drop to Hitler.Can't we invoke the Old Yeller statute, in a case like this. I know Labute likes to challenge his audience, but so does eating bad chicken. Here is an idea, make something that I might find entertaining. Actually I am entertained by people falling off their skateboard on Youtube how hard is that. Seriously.
... View MoreWatching this felt as though I was crawling on broken glass... simply because the dialogues in this film is very anguish, and bitter. Constant argument from the start with no sense of direction where the film is going. The whole film is shot inside the house... no dramatic background music or anything else. Dull. It's like watching an argument, going on and on, and on... not only does it not have direction, nor plot, but it gives the viewer a sense of directionless-ness feeling and drowsiness attempting to figure out what's the film about.Alice Eve is very static and is not able to express her emotions at all. It's as though she's got her pokerface on! Good lines in the dialogues. I'll give it that.
